This is my first attempt at etching an enclosure. I still have a lot to learn and it could definitely have been executed better, but I think the grunged out look does fit the sound of this pedal.







I like the big 8mm LED on this build.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Looks awesome.. I must hear it. The etch looks perfect for a Meathead like you said. Fits it perfectly.What caps did you use for the dark settings?

That looks great.

I want to try an etched enclosure. I have a design already done but I'm a little scared :D

It was 47nf for the input cap and 100nf for the output.

Thanks.. I posted that from work and when I was driving home I felt stupid since I just looked at the dark ver on Mark's vero layout on Tagboardeffects. I jumped the gun on the questions.

No problem. It was real easy for me since I had just done it.
